Pte. James Adamson
British Army 2nd Btn. Highland Light Infantry
from:Castleford, W Yorks
(d.23rd Oct 1918)
My great uncle James Adamson was killed 19 days prior to the Armistice, he has no known grave. Although listed as being 23 years old in the war records, he is shown on the 1901 census as 2 years old, which would make him 19 at time of death. He is commemorated Vis en Artois memorial just outside of Arras, a place I intend to visit on 23rd of October 2018, 100 years to the day he died. Just recently a photo miraculously turned up from somewhere in our family and no one really knew for sure who it was, but I have no doubt it is him.
